IMPROVED MENTAL HEALTH AND ENERGY: A body running on glucose goes through sugar highs and sugar crashes, leading to grumpy afternoon slumps and hazy brain fog. But thanks to the steady stream of protein and fat keeping their engines humming, 89% of carnivores reported more sustained energy throughout the day. When it came to their cognitive prowess, going carnivore helped:
85% elevate their mental clarity
83% enhance their focus
66% boost their memory
IMPROVED GUT HEALTH: Many carnivores start this diet to clear out their digestive system and start fresh. Similar to an elimination diet, carnivore removes triggers of GI distress, such as:
Lectins found in grains and legumes
Sugar, artificial sweeteners, and sugar alcohols
Indigestible fibers and fillers in prepackaged foods
FODMAPs (short-chain carbs found in certain fruits, veggies, etc., that are poorly absorbed by the small intestines)
SKELETAL AND MUSCULAR BENEFITS: The higher concentration of protein and amino acids in a carnivore diet lends itself to improved bone density, muscle repair, and growth of lean tissue.
ORGANIC CACAO BUTTER: Nutritionally speaking, cocoa butter is high in vitamin D, which helps your body absorb calcium and supports bone health. It also contains a decent amount of vitamin E (an antioxidant that protects your brain health).
Cocoa butter contains three types of fatty acids: palmitic acid (25%), oleic acid (33%) and stearic acid (33%)
GRASS-FED TALLOW: Beef tallow is rendered fat, usually from the suet of cows (the hard fat around the organs, particularly the kidneys and loins). Though beef is the most popular, tallow can also be made from sheep, goats, deer, elk, bison, or buffalo suet.
This pure, nutrient-dense source of animal fat has been relied on for centuries. Consider it the OG healthy fat long before avocados and coconut oil stole the show
STEARIC ACID: Fueling up isn’t about the number of calories you consume; it’s about the quality of those calories. High energy demand situations require foods that deliver. And stearic acid doesn’t just burn; it blazes.
Studies suggest that stearic acid may influence your metabolism and energy production. Its potentially positive effects on mitochondrial fusion (aka the cells responsible for energy production) mean relentless strength, stamina, and resilience.
AMPLE PROTEIN: High quality, proteins from animal sources checks the box on the ideal amino acid profile. Fuel your workouts and your life with bioavailable animal protein.
OPTIMIZED FAT METABOLISM: As important as protein is, it's not a great fuel substrate. So many carnivore dieters make the mistake of not consuming ample dietary fat. Take the guesswork out of your dietary fat needs by pairing a Keto Brick, made from organic cacao butter or grass-fed beef tallow, alongside your plate of steak!
STREAMLINED NUTRITION: Take the guesswork out of your meal prep. If you are eating a Keto Brick a day alongside a plate filled with animal protein, you are on the right track! Quit obsessing over supplementation and mind-numbing macro manipulation. Eat meat and Bricks and WIN in life!
MEAT AND BRICKS > WORLD CARNIVORE MONTH: Eat this way throughout the entire month of January and feel all the benefits that come your way!
